What the BDW family is
The Black Decker BDW dishwasher code covers the models in the variant table below, and the BDW list is a ladder of sizes on one mechanism. On this platform dishes coming out dirty or filmed is what arrives most often, with water left standing at the end of a cycle behind it; the rest arrives far less often.
The problems that happen on these models
- Dishes coming out dirty or filmed — A gritty film across the whole load, or a pattern where one part of the rack is clean and another is not. Covered in full on the BDW page. — Slug: black-decker-black-decker-dishwasher-bdw-dishwasher-cleaning-performance — Title: Black Decker BDW Dishwasher: Does Not Clean or Dry
- Water left standing at the end of a cycle — Water above the filter when the cycle ends, or a tub that refills itself overnight. Covered in full on the BDW page. — Slug: black-decker-black-decker-dishwasher-bdw-dishwasher-drainage-failure — Title: Black Decker BDW Dishwasher: Will Not Drain
- The machine will not begin a cycle — A dead panel, or a panel that lights and refuses — the two share almost no causes. Covered in full on the BDW page. — Slug: black-decker-black-decker-dishwasher-bdw-dishwasher-wont-start — Title: Black Decker BDW Dishwasher: Will Not Start or No Power
- Water on the floor — A line of water at the toe of the door, a puddle behind the machine, or water under the centre. Covered in full on the BDW page. — Slug: black-decker-black-decker-dishwasher-bdw-dishwasher-water-leak — Title: Black Decker BDW Dishwasher: Water Leak
Problem classes, most frequent first on this family
- Dishes coming out dirty or filmed — The most common complaint here, usually answered by a filter, a spray arm or water temperature.
- Water left standing at the end of a cycle — Second, and concentrated in a small sump that fills with what the filter should catch.
- The machine will not begin a cycle — Third, and dominated by free causes: a latch, a control lock, a closed tap.
- Water on the floor — Last by frequency, first by urgency: water under a cabinet outruns the repair.

Before you open anything
Safety
Unplug the appliance or switch off its breaker before reaching into the sump — broken glass is the usual find down there. Shut the water supply before disturbing a hose, and never defeat the door latch.
When to call a technician
Owner work here covers filters, spray arms, hoses, couplers, loading and detergent. Call when those are clear and it still washes poorly, will not drain, or leaks from under the cabinet.
